Well, actually there is two part numbers. The very first 380 G5's didnt support the QC's (5000 chipset versus 5000p I guess). You also need a recent bios version. I had the first, and even with the newest bios they didnt work :(
Spare Part #: 436526-001 Non Quad Core Spare Part #: 407749-001 This is what Iam told by HP... jlc ________________________________ From: Barsodi.John [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 9:55 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: HP DL380 G5 In the G5’s the mobo’s are the same for QC and DC. From: Joseph L. Casale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 8:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: HP DL380 G5 I am trying to deduce if a new mobo in a DL380 G5 supports Quad Cores, it is said it should be 436526-001. I don't have ilo access atm (not configured), I only have rdp access. Any ideas? I looked for an Intel Chipset identification util as the original mobo should be a 5000 series and this one should be a 5000p but it doesn't seem they make one for those series. Any help would be great! jlc ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
